The Inspiring Success Story of Oprah Winfrey - From A Girl Without Shoes to Billionaire
Oprah Winfrey, who was raised by her grandmother, was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother.
Winfrey has spoken about experiencing significant hardship as a child, and the fact that she was raped at the age of 9 and became pregnant at 14 (her son died in infancy), and fell victim to alcohol and drug abuse at a young age.
When Winfrey was sent to live with her father in Tennessee, she found employment in the radio field while still in high school, and would began her journalism career working as a co-anchor for the local evening news at 19. This lead her to become North America’s only black billionaire.
She is now worth $2.9 billion.
The change and the way you look at life when everything is gray is up to you! When you fail at something (and in some point in your life you will), it's up to YOU if you'll stay on the ground and feel sorry for yourself, or you will stand up and wipe the dirt of your knees and FIGHT for what you believe. This motivational video is just one story of million that shows how hard work eventually off.
The most important thing i'm asking is -
What's Your Story?
